For the record, this is the longest amount of time off (excluding holiday breaks when I worked at the juco level) I’ve taken since I went to work full-time — its a very much needed break, especially now that I not only work part-time, but also have a photography business! Please forgive me if I’m just more than a tad bit excited to be ‘running away from East Texas’ as I’ve put it to several coworkers and friends lately!

Anyway, rambling aside, Christina McCall Photography (formerly Reflections of Life Photography) will be closed — yes, closed!!! — from 5 pm on Thursday, June 11, 2009 until Monday, June 29, 2009. I will be on the road well away from the state of Texas for 99% of this time period and my cell service will be sporadic, at best. I will have internet access for part of the trip in the late evenings, so if you need to reach me during those two weeks — don’t call, email (or fill this form out that’ll make its way to my inbox also)! I will try my best to respond as I am able to, but there will be at least three (3) days in which I will have no telephone or internet access. Yeah, the withdrawals are already starting … so please, to be on the safe side, allow up to five (5) days for a response until I return home.

All orders received while I’m gone will be placed upon my return. If you’re wanting to schedule a mini session or regular session at our ‘re-grand opening’ rates, shoot me an email with the date/time you’re interested in (for mini sessions), or the date and time of day (early morning, late afternoon) for regular sessions (Saturday or Sunday only for all sessions!). I’ll reply back as soon as I have the opportunity and send (via email) the info packet/payment invoice to you. Appointments will not be confirmed until both the contract (to be sent via email) and retainer fee are received.

While I’m gone, and on the nights I have internet access, I will be posting images and tidbits from my trip for all of you to vicariously experience. And tied in with that will be a promotion of sorts — that’ll benefit several charities near and dear to me. More details about that will be posted separately in the early hours tomorrow … and hopefully tomorrow night I will have a few images from Day 1 of The Roadtrip posted as well!
